André WarnierIt is down right now : 10:17 PM Monday, June 9, 2014 (GMT) Time in Greenwich Mean Time Don't know if this qualifies as a "small hour". But then, your own email to the list comes in as dated : 04.06.2014 22:38 which on the face of it is 5 days ago, long before I sent the initial email of this thread; which throws at least some doubt as to the accuracy of your comment above. ;-)
